My Students

Our students in our Kindergarten ICT class are full of energy and have a love for learning. We have a class of diverse learners who come from different cultures. My co-teacher and I are happy to have them in school after almost 2 years of a pandemic. They come to school every day excited and ready to learn.

We are a class of super learners!

Our students are encouraged to try new things and explore as they learn. We meet the needs of each student in our class and support their individual learning styles. We work hard to build the foundation they will need in their educational journey.

My Project

Our classroom is full of students who have a love for reading and want to become super readers!! Many students have entered kindergarten this year as pre-readers. These level A books will add to our growing classroom library and will help us meet the individual needs of our students.

One of the supports we provide our class families with is the ability to borrow books from our classroom for reading enjoyment and practice at home.

We would love to add more lower level texts to give the students a larger variety to select from.
